Morocco’s Atlantic port city of Safi has been struck by a sudden and catastrophic flood disaster after torrential rains unleashed chaos within just one hour, leaving at least 37 people dead and dozens more injured. Violent downpours turned Safi’s streets into raging rivers, sweeping away cars, debris and everyday life as muddy floodwaters engulfed neighborhoods, including large parts of the historic old city. Authorities confirm that more than 70 homes and businesses were submerged, raising fears of further casualties as rescue teams continue search and relief operations. WATCH 

Typhoon Kalmaegi slammed into the central Philippines with winds up to 205 km/h, killing at least one and forcing tens of thousands to flee. Entire neighborhoods in Cebu and Talisay were submerged, flights grounded, and storm surges up to three meters high threatened coastal towns. The storm is now moving toward Vietnam, where authorities are preparing for a possible second landfall.
